Beer

[Storrs South]

Just saw this on twitter.. not sure where it's sourced from but would be HUGE IMO. More reason to keep all games on campus.

There's a facilities tour of the new facilities on campus (baseball, softball, soccer) for donors. I joined late so I didn't hear it but I think that's where it's coming from.

If you told me we’d have beer and Big East games again someday in Gampel when I was sitting there watching us lose to Wagner and Northeastern, it would’ve taken a lot of the pain away.

Rolling Rock bottles only!

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Good news. It will no longer be necessary to keister nips into Gampel

I can only imagine the amount of spilled beer in the bleachers. Not a fan. I drink plenty of beer, but at those games all I really care about is the basketball, unlike football games.

I think we all agree, but this is a hot take.

They better build better concessions and upgrade the bathrooms.

This is a really important point. Gampel’s concessions are not fast or convenient. I understand that everybody wants beer at games. I hope they have a plan to make the logistics work so people who want a beer don’t have to miss half the game.

It’s a challenge for fans to stand up and navigate through the rows. Caps on the cups should be mandatory.

Or bottles would be good. Of course, they don’t allow caps on water bottles, so I’m guessing there will be nonsensical rules about this as well.

I’m expecting a lot of spilled beer in the bleacher sections of Gampel during the sellouts, but all worth it!

This is very very true

I know MSG does this because the cup holders are attached to chairs in front of you that recline when people sit in them.

There's always at least one in the crowd no matter what.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I wonder if they’ll allow fans at the new baseball park. The thought of drinking a beer under the lights watching the hookc’s will be a huge psychological boost to get through the next few months.

Sounds like it’s a strong possibility that there will be fans this spring.

I’ve posted about it a few times before, but there is a plan, at least in concept, to add a concourse around the outside of Gampel, mostly in between the Fieldhouse. I’m quite sure better concessions and better bathrooms are a part of it. It also wouldn’t surprise me if we will be adding seats in the existing concourse.

Although, going to Ted's and getting a beaver is kinda tradition now.

Hopefully this pushes that project up. Need to get it done now especially with the uncertainty with XL.

My understanding is the hockey rink is next, so figure we are at least two years away.

We always bring caps in. Too many spills.

exactly. asked and confirmed by AD DB on the virtual tour.

Looks like we’re putting ourselves in a position to dump the XL if they don’t step up.

So glad I no longer have bleacher seats...now that’s a tight squeeze plus trying to balance a beer..giving me more reason to love my seat back..

 

[auggie22]

Wonder if they are preparing to fund raise for the expanding concourse at gampel?
